Immediate skeletal effects of rapid maxillary expansion at midpalatal suture opening with Differential, Hyrax and Haas expanders [PDF]
Objective: The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference at the midpalatal suture opening after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) using Expander with Differential Opening (EDO), Hyrax-type and Haas-type expanders ...

Mechanical force-induced midpalatal suture remodeling in mice [PDF]
Mechanical stress is an important epigenetic factor for regulating skeletal remodeling, and application of force can lead to remodeling of both bone and cartilage. Chondrocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts all participate and interact with each other in this remodeling process.

Maxillary expansion in an animal model with light, continuous force [PDF]
Objectives: Maxillary constriction is routinely addressed with rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the heavy forces delivered by most RME appliances to expand the palate may lead to deleterious effects on the teeth and supporting tissues.

Applicability of Fractal Analysis for Quantitative Evaluation of Midpalatal Suture Maturation
Background: The treatment of transversal maxillary deficiency usually aims at skeletal expansion. The treatment option highly depends on the maturation stage of the midpalatal suture (MPS), which may vary between individuals at the same chronological age. Therefore, the individual determination of the MPS maturation is crucial.

Assessment of Maxillary Expansion Techniques by means of 3D Elastoplastic Finite Element Static Simulation [PDF]
Even though numerous studies considered various approaches for maxillary expansion, there is still no consensus on which method is optimal for a patient with a particular clinical picture.

Orthodontic movement of a maxillary incisor through the midpalatal suture [PDF]
Abstract Orthodontic space closure is a treatment alternative when a maxillary central incisor is missing. The objective of this report was to present an unusual treatment in which a right maxillary central incisor was moved through the midpalatal suture to replace the absent contralateral tooth.
